Create a label

Make a new label on the Labels screen, or straight from the label picker while you're tagging a file.

A label is a name and a colour, nothing more. Make one ahead of time on the Labels screen, or make it in the middle of tagging a file when you realise the label you want doesn't exist yet.

On the Labels screen

  1. Go to Labels and select New Label at the top right.

  2. Enter a name, then select one of the eight colours. Blue is chosen unless you pick another.

    The form that opens at the top of the Labels screen: an empty box reading Label name, and beneath it a row of eight round colour swatches in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink and grey, with the blue one ringed to show it is selected.

  3. Select Create at the right-hand end of the form. The new label joins the list below, with no files yet.

While labelling a file

  1. Open the file's menu, select Label, then select Create new label at the foot of the panel.

  2. Enter a name, choose a colour and select Create.

    The panel headed Labels for Board Pack - Q2 2026.pdf, listing six labels with Board ticked. At its foot a Label name box, the same eight colour swatches with blue ringed, and Cancel and Create buttons.

  3. The new label joins the list already ticked. Select Save to put it on the file.
